1768 Lingyun’s Confession 1
In that case, was Lingyun going to acquire Golden Rolls for him?
Lingyun had never divulged any details prior to this moment, choosing to keep everything under wraps for the sake of a grand surprise. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been absent for so many days without any contact, only to show up before him unexpectedly and unannounced.
Wuxing’s face quickly lit up with a smile. He exuded confidence in the matter.
“Alright, Lingyun, don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me the outcome. Is it related to the Golden Rolls? Have you dealt with Phoenix Girl?” Wuxing inquired directly, his eyes locked onto Lingyun’s.
His smile was genuine and heartfelt.
Lingyun could perceive that.
Wuxing’s true happiness only emerged once everything had been resolved. It was then that he revealed his underlying joy.
It had always been this way.
As she gazed into his eyes, Lingyun responded candidly, “No.”
“…”
“I never talked about Golden Rolls with her.”
“….”
“I did none of what you asked me to.” Lingyun confessed.
No?
What was she talking about?
He told Lingyun so much but she did none?
But Lingyun promised him!
Why not?
Why?
“Is it because you found it too easy, or is it because you didn’t dare to, afraid that Phoenix Girl would lose trust in you?” Wuxing asked quietly, his tone filled with concern. Surprisingly, he managed to keep his temper in check. He was perplexed, and his worry for Lingyun grew stronger.
This was a new reaction from him.
In the past, Wuxing would often display anger or discontent.
However, he remained oblivious to his own change in behavior, as his attention was solely focused on Lingyun and her response.
Lingyun locked eyes with Wuxing.
She could sense that he genuinely cared for her.
Truly.
This time, he was genuinely concerned about her.
What a pity.
It was too late.
If Wuxing had shown this level of concern earlier, she might not have developed such a strong dislike for him.
Lingyun averted her gaze.
In a cold tone, she replied, “I don’t want to do it. Who do you think you are to command my obedience?”
“…”
“Who do you think you are to a.s.sume that I must marry you simply because you want to marry me? Have you ever bothered to ask if I even want to marry you?” Lingyun’s voice was filled with frustration and anger.
Silence hung heavy in the air as Wuxing remained speechless.
“Wuxing, you have deceived me all these years. I can see now how poorly you treated me. I was blinded by my deep love for you, so I overlooked all the mistreatment. All I could see were the small acts of kindness you showed me. But now I’ve awakened. Do you think I am still easily manipulated like I once was? Do you think I’m still foolish enough to be used by you again?”
“….”
“I won’t allow myself to be that person again,” Lingyun continued with determination.
“….”
“And I will ensure that you feel the same pain I felt, so you can truly comprehend the extent of my suffering,” she declared.
“….”
“How do you feel now, knowing the truth?” Lingyun pressed, her voice cutting through the stillness.
“….”
“I will never a.s.sist you. Elder Miss is aware of everything you’ve asked of me, your greed, and all your intentions. Wuxing, you are not worthy of me!”
